You must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool

Do you remember the day I said,  
"I want to be a soldier," with a heart so bold?💜  
I was just a child, brimming with unknown hope,  
Dreaming of protecting my country🇪🇹,  
Loving it with a purity only youth can hold.  
You smiled, saying, "Such a thought, beautiful in its innocence.🌝"  

But then I came again, my dreams had changed—  
"I want to be a doctor," I told you this time.  
People were hurting, and I wanted to heal,  
Even to cure the pain you endured in silence.  
You didn’t say much, just, "Such a sweet child."  

Again, I returned with yet another dream.  
"I think I’ll be a pilot!" I said,  
Drawn to physics, to planes soaring the skies,  
Believing I’d found my passion.  
You listened, never tired, never mocking,  
Patient with my endless dreams.  

And then, I spoke of psychiatry—  
Of helping minds find peace and clarity.  
"Are you sure?" you asked gently.  
But like all the others, that too passed.  

One day, I sent you a voicemail, singing,  
"Maybe I’ll be a singer," I laughed aloud.  
And remember when war found us trapped?  
I scribbled politics on scraps of paper,  
Reading you lines, asking for your thoughts.  
You never told me my dreams were small  
Or that I was too small to dream them.  
You let me wander, explore, grow.  
You let me live my journey.  

But then, as I grew older,  
I stopped coming to you with my dreams.  
I told you only, "I’m studying."  
You didn’t ask why, not like before.  
Perhaps you thought I was mature now,  
That I no longer needed your curiosity.  

But fool that I am, I wish you’d asked.  
Because the truth is, I don’t know why.  
I don’t know what I’m searching for,  
What I’m chasing in the silence of this path.  

Now, I sit and think of those days.  
The dreams I never became,  
The questions I didn’t ask,  
The choices I let slip away.  
And yet, you taught me one enduring truth:  
To let others be, as they are,  
To dream their own dreams,  
To follow their own journeys.

🌟 not to expect too much because high expectations can lead to disappointment. As long as I tried my best, 🤷‍♀️I knew I couldn’t control what someone else decided.
